A recent motto I’m attempting to sink into my soul is “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”
Today I want to tell you about my frugalicious friend and neighbor Revelle.
She is doing something that makes me happier than a coondog on a bare leg.
Let me tell you about it.
But first, you must meet her precious 5 month old, Jaxon.
He was smiling at me right before this, I promise.
I think he likes me, don’t you?
For all the moms out there who are wanting to say no to consumerism and save some bucks, with 30 minutes and a food processer, Revelle will show you how.
She is making her own baby food for this little solid-food eater.
A jar of sweet potatoes in the grocery store runs about one dollar per jar.
Instead, she bought 3 sweet potatoes for $2.36. She baked them, peeled them, and cut them up. Then put them in a food processor and pureed them.
She then poured them into these little ice trays with lids and froze them.
She was able to make 40 one ounce servings for $2.36.
Math has never been my best subject, but I know that figures out to saving some serious moolah.
Plus it’s fresh and made in your own kitchen with your own germs.
And that’s as good as it gets.
Unless you add butter.
And marshmallows.

I’m Angel, a.k.a. Rocket Surgeon, and these are my chronicles. I love writing and I believe our stories should be shared, so here you’ll find anecdotes of my life, loves, worries, fears, joys, and experiences.
I blog about my mishaps and adventures as a wife, mommy, auntie, wanna-be writer, teacher, Texan, country/city/mountain girl, cereal killer and Jesus-freak.
A few things you might discover about me:
•Jesus is my everything; without Him I am nothing, but with him I can do all things
•My family makes this world a better place for me to live in
•I adore chickens, the live ones, although the cooked ones aren’t too bad either
•I have 2 dogs: Grace and Ozzie. And one cat: Rocky Muffin
•My dream job would be to raise chickens and write best sellers
Thanks for stopping by. Kick off your shoes and stay awhile. I know your time is valuable and I honor you for spending a few moments here with me. I hope you find something to brighten your day, lighten your load, make you chuckle and remind you of the good in the world.

I’m always eager to meet new online friends, so leave a comment and introduce yourself.

I ate the same thing for supper, and I could only eat about an ounce. I didn’t know what to do with the leftovers. Now I do, thanks!

Brandi, I really think you need to start a blog about your progress, struggles, and praises. Throw in a few A.S. stories as well.

I am really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
